obviously we can't get into geurneville, still here in forestville. you can see this the town under water. now, remember, the town of geurneville was landlocked yesterday just before 5:00 a.m. so you couldn't go in and out of the area. you had to use a boat or helicopter to get in. that's how they had to get in if they need to rescue anyone. folks had waited too long to evacuate unfortunately stuck right here in forestville. >> they are lucky. up a hill, power hasn't gone out. we're kind of hunkered down. got the tv, fireplace. >> right now i'm smiling because i'm up on the hill. i wasn't smiling yesterday. >> i'm trying to get in and it doesn't look like it's going to happen. >> take you back out here live to river road. you can see the water coming down on this structure as the russian river begins to recede. we know there are about 40 boat rescues yesterday, so we'll see if there's more. sheriff's department saying no additional rescues. in fact, they were saying it was a slow night. images from geurneville, before and after images in the next half
